Neurofibromatosis: Nf is a collection of genetic diseases that have no cure. When you have it, management requires observation & occasional studies to detect certain complicating issues before they can cause trouble. Surgical intervention may be required in some forms of the disease. Some forms never need any extra help.

Medical & neurodevel: opmental manifestations of NF 1 from a mutant Neurofibromin 1 gene on Chromosome 17q11.2 vary widely, even among family members. Locations & types of tumors, e.g., optic gliomas, plexiform neurofibromas & nerve sheath tumors guide medical & surgical treatments. Learning Disabilities & ADHD drive management of educational & behavioral difficulties.See ctf.org for information & resources.

No: There is no cure for neurofibromatosis and goal of treatment is to relieve symptoms. Painful cutaneous and subcutaneous tumors and those that occur on visible areas of the body may be removed surgically. Surgery also may be performed to remove schwannomas and nerve tissue tumors (neurofibromas) that cause pain, sensory loss, and loss of function.

What do you mean?: If by "nf" you mean "nightfall", nocturnal emissions, as is used in some "traditional societies", you have my sympathy. It's something that's natural, masculine, and healthy and that you should enjoy. If you mean "neurofibromatosis", the question has been answered well by others here.
